Fairfield News, July 15, 2022 – Fairfield held its final close on June 29, 2022 for its Fairfield U.S. Multifamily Core Plus Fund II LP (“Fund II”) with over $250.0 million of equity, bringing the total equity raised for Fund II to $750.0 million. The investor base of Fund II consists of U.S. and Asian institutional investors, including equity commitments from the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS), Korea Public Officials Benefit Association (“POBA”) with Meritz Alternative Investment Management serving as investment manager to POBA and five other large institutional investors.  CalSTRS and POBA are also investors in Fairfield’s predecessor Core Plus Fund, Fairfield U.S. Multifamily Core Plus Joint Venture LP which raised a total of $308.0 million and closed in March 2020.  Fund II’s investment strategy will focus on acquiring core plus multifamily assets in over 30 major MSA’s throughout the U.S. and approximately $265.0 million of equity has been deployed to date. Fund II will leverage Fairfield’s national platform and 36 years of history in multifamily with over $21.0 billion in acquisitions. 

Richard Boynton, President and Chief Investment Officer of Fairfield, said, “Fairfield has always recognized the value and stability of investing in high quality, well located apartment properties, particularly in periods of high economic volatility like today.  The multifamily space has compelling market fundamentals alongside strong demographic trends that provides a sound base to our investment thesis even as the public stock and debt markets are in a period of uncertainty.”     

Fund II, with $750.0 million of equity commitments, is the second Core Plus vehicle Fairfield has raised.  Trey Stafford, Head of Capital Markets Fundraising, said, “We are not only excited we achieved our fundraising goal and raised our second and largest core plus fund to date, but are equally proud of our ability to attract high quality and diverse investors from the U.S. and Asia. As we continue to expand our multifamily investment strategies, growing our investor base within and outside the U.S. has been a key focus for us.”       

Fairfield is a vertically integrated multifamily company that currently has approximately $10.0 billion in assets under management[1] in various multifamily acquisition, development, and debt strategies.
